Most visitors to historic Hilo stay in the friendly and budget conscious Hilo Bay hotels such as Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Naniloa Volcanoes Resort, and Uncle Billy's. Starting in the 1930s, famous celebrities and visitors were often asked to plant the (now giant) banyan trees lining quiet Banyan Drive. |

Celebrities such as Babe Ruth, Amelia Earhart, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, and King George V all helped plant the trees you stand in front of and are shaded by today. |
